Routine arterial FDG uptake grades were associated with coexisting NAFLD and atherosclerosis.

Report-based arterial FDG uptake and the NAFLD–atherosclerosis overlap phenotype: a two-centre cross-sectional PET/CT study with an exploratory decomposition of the hepatic FDG signal
Key Takeaways
  • Higher arterial FDG grades were associated with the overlap phenotype.
  • Associations were stronger for overlap than for either condition alone.
  • Hepatic FDG uptake statistically explained only a modest portion.
